    1. An old globalist finally returned to his master in hell.

      Good riddance.

      Yes, I’m sorry—that he wasn’t killed in the war.

      1. Just because you might identify as being a conservative doesn’t stop you from being an a$$hole.

        A modicum of tact and civility and just good manners would be appreciated.

        1. Yes, just consider his intellectual halitosis – like that of Watto and NME666 – as the price we all have to pay for frequenting SDA.

      2. re 12:11 am, once agin ‘AC’ proves whut a turd his brain matter constitutes.
        tq tq tq for that ‘AC’.
        (psst, hint: when you buy yer meds via anon email from chirer, ya gets LESS than what ya pays fer)

      3. yes let’s remember those wonderful democrats, John Kennedy, well liked but a genuine whore master, Ted Kennedy, did not have the guts to hang around while his mistress was drowning, bill Clinton, also well liked but a real scumbag. Finally the ever popular product of Oprah Winfrey, the Kenyan, Barrack Obama, whose accomplishments could be recorded on a post it note, unless you count all the actions against the US government, 400 billion to Iran to develop nuclear weapons to be used against the USA. spying on american citizens, trying to sabotage the 2016 US election. There are too many other indiscretions to report.

    2. Quite the life. God bless George H.W. Bush.

      Bush was born June 12, 1924 to Connecticut senator and Wall Street banker Prescott Sheldon Bush and Dorothy Walker in Milton, Massachusetts. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Bush enlisted in the Navy on his 18th birthday, going on to become a distinguished pilot with 58 combat missions to his name during World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action and honorably discharged in 1945.

      After leaving the Navy, Bush enrolled at Yale University, where he was president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and captain of the baseball team. He also married his high school sweetheart Barbara Pierce, with whom he would go on to have five children.

      Bush’s post-graduation career in the oil industry earned him a fortune, but his aspirations would turn political in the ’60s. Following early victories in local Texas elections, Bush was appointed by president Richard Nixon to ambassador to the United Nations in 1971 and chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973. Nixon’s successor, Gerald Ford, named Bush CIA director in 1976.

      In 1980, Bush campaigned for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, but was defeated by frontrunner Ronald Reagan in a number of key primaries. In an attempt to unify the party against Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter, Reagan selected Bush as his vice presidential running mate.

      Reagan and Bush unseated Carter in a landslide in November 1980, and Bush was given responsibility in domestic areas including federal deregulation and anti-drug programs.

      Early on in his second term as vice president, Bush began planning a second bid for the Oval Office in 1988. After defeating Bob Dole, Jack Kemp, Pete DuPont and conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson in the Republican primary, Bush and his running mate, Indiana senatory Dan Quayle, defeated Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis with 53 percent of the vote and a yet-unmatched margin in the electoral college.

      Bush was inaugurated in 1989, and faced a number of challenges during his first term, including the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union; the first Gulf War in Iraq in 1990; the invasion of Panama to overthrow the corrupt regime of General Manuel Noriega; rising unemployment and a struggling economy.

      Despite high approval ratings, Bush was defeated by then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential election.

      The Bush political dynasty would continue with his kids, including Bush’s eldest son George W. Bush, who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. Their second son, John Ellis “Jeb” Bush, served as Florida governor for two terms and made his own bid for president in 2016.

      He is survived by five children, 14 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

  2. Calgary Board of Education paid about $3.3 million in carbon taxes last year.
    https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/carbon-tax-takes-huge-bite-out-of-cbe-budget-taking-five-and-a-half-buses-off-the-road

    Carbon taxes are supposed to reduce demand for hydrocarbons. So Rachel Notley, shall parents make all kids walk to school to save on school buses (uphill, both ways, bare foot, in the snow 🙂 )
    Guess everyone can wear sweaters inside so schools can turn down the heat to 19 deg C. Or perhaps wear jackets and gloves and turn down the heat to 15 deg C.

    Rachel and Justin, how about turning down the heat in the legislature and parlament? Too many women are going bare sleeved in the Alberta Legislature and in the Canadian Parliament.

    1. “Calgary Board of Education paid about $3.3 million in carbon taxes last year.”

      If it wasn’t government it would be called money laundering.

    1. “Social impacts of bringing male construction workers into rural areas.”

      Social impact? No! But I’m guessing a lot of sex. Probably the same as bringing a pussy grabbing Montrealer into a small town like Creston.

    1. So has CBC just on their own changed the name of the trade agreement to CUSMA? Is the rest of the media now calling it that now? Is this how Trudeau wants it? Seems juvenile.

      1. I noticed that too. USMCA to CUSMA. Could be a typo. I checked the CBC site and they use USMCA on the other free trade stories.

        1. Not a typo Steve. Seems they’re “sticking it” to Trump. What a bunch of immature imbeciles.

          **“It’s a rather mild but noticeable response to Trump’s self-glorifying acronym with the U.S. first,” said Robert Bothwell, a professor of Canadian history and international relations at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto.

          “I suppose the good thing about our version is that it can be pronounced, which may mean that it will prevail over the tongue-tying American variant. It’s a childish game we play with a childish president – the kind of thing he can understand. Perhaps there’ll be a tweet about it.”**

  8. A very informative video by Turley about the beginnings and sheer breadth of the populist revolt leading up to Brexit; contains a link to a piece in the new e-zine Quillette. The increase in the annual net immigration numbers after 2000 (roughly 10-fold) was massive (Tony Blair’s rubbing conservatives’ noses in it!). A good chuckle over the elites’ view that the EU is just too complicated for the prols and serfs to understand.

    1. A bus driver who spent a year and a half in jail in India charged with terrorism. A perfect candidate to help run a Trudeau economy.

  11. Brampton MP Raj Grewal rethinking decision to resign, says he repaid gambling debts

    http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/brampton-mp-raj-grewal-rethinking-decision-to-resign-says-he-repaid-gambling-debts/ar-BBQk9Y1?li=AAggFp5&OCID=HPDHP

    This is starting to stink more and more. He says he repaid gambling debts? Where did he get the money? Who is paying him to keep quiet?

    And now Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains may be involved somehow? https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/rcmp-called-to-probe-tale-of-two-liberal-mps-a-suburban-overpass-trip-to-india-and-multimillion-dollar-land-deal

    Turdeau’s office is probably telling the media that if they don’t drop this they’ll get no Federal money.
    Victoria’s sewage smells better than this.

  13. MP Raj Grewal’s gambling is the smokescreen for some serious criminal activity. He’s a Liberal. Need I say more? To hell with the Mounties, bring in Doug Ford’s Ontario Provincial Police. The Mounties are crookeder than the Liberals.

    I don’t know if it works on IE as some this morning at Ace’s said they couldn’t see the results area at the top while I was using Pale Moon (Firefox variant).

    The comments at the satiric (I hope!) site are funny too.

    Intersectionality Score Calculator
    You may have heard of intersectionality — “the theory that the overlap of various social identities, such as race, gender, and sexuality, contributes to the systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual” — but don’t know how to compare your level of oppression with others. Now, you can!

    Simply adjust the sliders below according to your identity factors to see your intersectionality score. You can use it when you’re dealing with others to know who’s more marginalized instead of getting to know them as individuals.

    andycanuck is…
    Your intersectionality score: 8
    You are more privileged than 84% of others!
